A fantastic vintage 1970s Rooster necktie in rich medium blue, made from All Virgin Wool with a distinctive chunky knit texture. The substantial woven construction gives this tie wonderful depth and visual interest, while the classic blue color makes it surprisingly versatile with everything from earth-tone 1970s suits to navy, gray, tan, rust, or camel tailoring.
The tie has the bold, wider proportions associated with 1970s men's neckwear, measuring approximately 56 1/2 inches long, 3 inches wide at the widest point, and 1 inch wide at the narrowest point. The sides remain essentially straight rather than dramatically tapering, giving it a particularly distinctive period silhouette. The square end is another great vintage detail and makes this an especially stylish example of 1970s knit neckwear.
The original Rooster labeling is present, including the “All Virgin Wool” designation. The beautifully textured knit construction photographs especially well and gives the tie a wonderful tactile quality in person.
A great choice for a vintage wardrobe, 1970s-inspired fashion, mod or retro styling, costume collection, or anyone who appreciates unusual vintage neckwear with authentic period character.
Condition: Very good vintage condition with normal signs of age and gentle previous use. Please see photographs for the best representation of the tie's condition, color, texture, and details.
